Sometimes we just want to get away from it all. A little space to unwind, and just detach from the busy day for a while. Let's face it, the constant updates from favourite designers and new ones through Fashcon, the juggling of IM's from friends, customers, and perfect strangers, the little things you simply HAVE to do inworld, meetings, building, scripting, testing designs, it all builds up and before you know it logging in one morning becomes a chore. A holiday spot would be nice, even just somewhere pretty to go where there's no death metal or Kenny G making your ears bleed and you can just cruise.<br /><br />I have a little place for you. I was looking around, sightseeing, and came across the Virgin Islands. More specifically, <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Virgin%20Island/91/176/31">Hosoi Ichiba</a>. When you land you will notice the Japanese architecture, of an old-style market built within luscious gardens, and itself surrounding a peace garden. In the mood for some relaxation, I at first turned around and walked through the gorgeous wooden roofed bridge to investigate a village I could see not too far away.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cIFKug27I/AAAAAAAAAV0/vC6sKX3oirc/s1600-h/WoodenBridge.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cIFKug27I/AAAAAAAAAV0/vC6sKX3oirc/s400/WoodenBridge.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185622380812229554" /></a><br /><br />Walking through the village, I admired the huts and purchased one of the sweet chimes hanging from the gate. Blowing gently in the breeze, the soft chimes were soothing and I figured I could use some soothing at home. Backtracking down the path I took a turn and spotted a Samurai house. What attracted my attention was not the house itself but the onsen, a hot spa, right on the water. Perfect for some time to pause and think.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cJQ6ug28I/AAAAAAAAAV8/zHAbKIBcDG8/s1600-h/onsen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cJQ6ug28I/AAAAAAAAAV8/zHAbKIBcDG8/s400/onsen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185623682187320258" /></a><br /><br />After a soak, I headed down another path, and after passing by some scenic lookouts decorated with meditation pillows, came across a clearing. There was a fishing village here, complete with a few boats, and some of the latest catch hanging outside one of the huts. I sat on the bank, watching the sun sparkle on the water, and after a pause, decided to see what was inside the market.<br /><br />What is great about the market is that it incorporates itself into the garden, and the overall atmosphere of the place. Surrounded by garden, and in turn surrounding a small peace garden, the markets do not interrupt the calmness, the buildings themselves are well crafted which only enhances the atmosphere. I headed back to the main entrance and walked inside. Straight ahead I noticed a tea room, and sat down for a humble drink. Glancing around I noticed a few people were actually doing Tai Chi just outside, and decided to give it a try. No-one spoke, and before long I saw a stunning red tower I had to investigate.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cJ6Kug29I/AAAAAAAAAWE/npRWZgKMysk/s1600-h/temple.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cJ6Kug29I/AAAAAAAAAWE/npRWZgKMysk/s400/temple.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185624390856924114" /></a><br /><br />A cute surprise was the Japanese rock garden I happened through on my way, perfect to sit by and reflect on, if they work for you. I headed through and over to the tower, which was in fact some kind of temple, complete with shrine and tools for worship. Browsing around I saw some well crafted rickshaws, and took a look at the homewares available in the market. If I'd been a little less poor after emptying PC yesterdayI would've bought a lot more. <br /><br />I still haven't finished exploring properly, but around each corner I found something else to enjoy, a quiet spot to sit, a small garden, or a beautiful decor piece I wanted to buy. The construction and layout of the sim is wonderful, the texturing colours are bright and beautiful but not garish, and the design looks well thought out and built, but still keeps an element of wilderness and a root to nature with it. <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Virgin%20Island/91/176/31">Hosoi Ichiba</a> is a tranquil haven to relax and take a break, and I thoroughly enjoyed my all too short visit.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cKxKug2-I/AAAAAAAAAWM/3qmKssyoRfk/s1600-h/FishingBoats.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_cKxKug2-I/AAAAAAAAAWM/3qmKssyoRfk/s320/FishingBoats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185625335749729250" /></a>Eyva Matovahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13562278504231869156noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267264733051607155.post-44897424180638573012008-04-12T08:21:00.001+00:002008-04-12T08:21:23.815+00:00Blogday Updates<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_7h3YAYRnI/AAAAAAAAAXM/NpsVMn9sCaE/s1600-h/Caliahswindlight.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R_7h3YAYRnI/AAAAAAAAAXM/NpsVMn9sCaE/s400/Caliahswindlight.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187832162230486642" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">The new viewer, with Caliah's handy windlight help</span><br /><br />- The harsh light of Windlight can again be conquered by following Caliah's tips over at <a href="http://secondsoigne.wordpress.com/author/caliah/">Soigne</a>.

Fomerly a curator at the Cannery, Shoshana is a well-respected and loved member of the arts community, with permanent homes in several galleries across the grid.<br /><br />You'll get to see her latest works when she becomes the official featured artist for the Avatrait gallery this month. Avatrait is an interesting company that recreates SL® photography into RL prints, and their gallery at <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Simuality/128/128/0">Simuality</a> is becoming one of the grid's most popular, with associated artists such as Kimberley Mirabeau, who was previously featured, and Stephen Venkman and Codebastard Redgrave, who serve on the advisory board.<br /><br />Specializing in in-world photography with no post-processing, Shoshana's showing will open April 12, 1pm SL® and all pictures will be available for one-off sale, meaning once you own the picture you will be the only person to do so. The exhibition promises to be raw and a bit daring, and will be open for viewing for the rest of the month.

Or should I say, the large number of designers whose skills just seemed to increase tenfold? Armidi already had strongly skilled artists when the sim was revealed a while ago now, but with the new additions of designers who were creative forces on their own, the overall skillset is phenomenal. But it's not just larger labels that have grown. MG Fashion was already a cute store with quality items, but Maria Gherardi really seemed to come into her own with her self named release Maria, a set of detailed blouses and silk skirts, and since then each piece has highlighted her skill with beautiful textures and uniquely shaped sculpties. <br /><br />Quite often I find myself challenged in the personal style department. Finding it all too easy to go overboard and try to wear everything I just bought all at once, I'm learning, I hope, to tone it down when the time suits. For these pictures I have selected a key piece purchased over the last week, mixed in with some classic staples in my wardrobe. I'm still continuing to fight the urge to wear everything I own of a particular designer all at once, so bear with me.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS8qug2kI/AAAAAAAAASg/zs4Xb0GY0xs/s1600-h/Jumpsuit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS8qug2kI/AAAAAAAAASg/zs4Xb0GY0xs/s400/Jumpsuit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180215936109566530" /></a><br /><br />Available in a wide range of colours, this jumpsuit from Armidi immediately brought JLo - superponytail - gold bling - to mind but I overlooked my first instinct and purchased this one in Cornflower. So instead I went a little wrong side of town with this one and roughed it up with some dramatic lips, which is actually a free skin from Rosemar. This piece just seems to highlight exactly what I'd hoped for from the designers, the shading, textures and seams are excellent, the sculpties needed no adjustment. From my own experience making simple jeans I appreciate how hard it is to make a whole denim outfit.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS9aug2lI/AAAAAAAAASo/z5zQxB-rpYA/s1600-h/Sands.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS9aug2lI/AAAAAAAAASo/z5zQxB-rpYA/s400/Sands.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180215948994468434" /></a><br /><br />Elegance is a running theme I notice when I visit MG, and the Hunting Season sweater is no exception. Maria does warm winter clothing very well, I'm a big fan of her natural fibre-feeling texturing and the subtle colour options. A couple of items from G.L.A.M. have become go-to pieces, and the buttoned trousers I have on show why. When you visit the store you can see they offer basically everything you need to build up your wardrobe, as well as more statement items.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS9qug2mI/AAAAAAAAASw/IebR-PrrKiw/s1600-h/Boiler.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R-PS9qug2mI/AAAAAAAAASw/IebR-PrrKiw/s400/Boiler.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180215953289435746" /></a><br /><br /><br />I pieced together this look beginning with the makeup. Being oblivious to Gala Phoenix's work until the Skin Fair, I was giddy when trying the demos, and now am slowly purchasing the entire range as I can afford it. Along with Roberta Beauchamps' Wax Poetic lines, Gala was the standout for me, her faces look realistic while still creating unique looks with each makeup option. Some skin designers make the skin tone then just tint the eyeshadow, but Gala and Roberta both create whole new looks, even with subtle makeups. Also loving the Armidi pants, they seem very rock n roll, and these chucks I've had forever from Old Gravy.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Review Copies - </span> Nu Rave Glasses by Royal Blue were a gift.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Friends List - </span>Yes, Jumpsuit and Nu Rave Glasses.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Credits</span><br /><br />Hair - Mirai Natu in Coco<br />Jumpsuit - Armidi Limited in Cornflower<br />Glasses - Royal Blue - Nu Rave Glasses in Pink<br />Shoes - Stiletto moody - Pump & Anklestrap in Black<br />Skin - Rosemar - Creampuff in Twine **FREE<br />Ring - P.C. - Emerald ring<br />Necklace - Miam Miam - Layered necklace with beads<br />Eyes - Tuli - Amber eyes<br /><br />Hair - Armidi - St Moritz in Smoked Nutshell<br />Top - MG Fashion - Hunting Season Sweater in Cream<br />Pants - G.L.A.M. - Buttoned Trousers in White<br />Shoes - Armidi Gisaci - Dhali Bow Platforms in Bole<br />Skin - LF Chai - Honey in Siyu<br />Ring - Yummy - Juicy Ring<br />Eyes - Tuli - Amber eyes<br /><br />Hair - Aden - Edie in Black<br />Top - Last Call - Hunt Club Jumper in Black<br />Pants - Armidi Limtied - Kogo Skinny Pants in Ruby Red<br />Brassiere - Artilleri - Deanna Brassiere Top in Cherry Black<br />Skin - Gala Pheonix - Opaline - Doily Eyes<br />Eyes - Fashionable Dead - Green Eyes<br />Bandage - The Syndicate - Violence Solves Everything Bracer<br />Necklace - Yummy - Mini Robot NecklaceEyva Matovahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13562278504231869156noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267264733051607155.post-83466830160806473612008-03-20T13:57:00.002+00:002008-03-20T19:24:02.507+00:00[Review] Detour Skins<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->Detour has just opened up in the last few weeks and there new line of skins is defiantly starting to get noticed.

Her fantastic sense of humour and willingness to throw caution to the wind and make the most bizarre yet gorgeous clothing and accessory creations always inspires me and motivates me to keep trying when I lose my way.<br /><br />We met just as she was starting her label and even her first releases were items I'd never seen anyone attempt, and I was in awe. While most people (including myself) were making lines just like you would find in RL, Marni used the possibilities SL could provide her designing skills, and would create anti-gravity dresses and flamingo bags galore.<br /><br />So while your presents coming my common law SL wife, just thought I'd abuse my ability to reach a large number of people and say Happy Rezday crazy girl, I'm so lucky to have gotten to know you and SL is that much better for me because you're in it.

It took me a few minutes to get the prim attachment for the dress to fit me perfectly, but this was no more trouble than is normally expected with dress from other stores and having to work with your own perhaps unusual shape. The prices, while they may deter bargain hunters, are worth the great design and technique each item offers.

Both of us were both pretty new to the fashion scene, and over the almost year I've known her, Kat has always been working her next idea and always improving her skillset. Each new release would show off techniques she had mastered and I was always impressed with both her classic style of design and he quality of her work. <br /><br />Stocking classic dresses and casual separates, Immortelle is a brand Kat should be very proud of. Sometimes if you really like the dress design you may be willing to forgive small design flaws, but this is never an issue with Kat's clothes. The detailing on all of her pieces, and especially intricate sparkles and patterns are extremely well done, you can tell she has paid each outfit special attention to get it just right. If you're looking for Last Call quality, Immortelle has it.<br /><br />Some of these dresses I have bought and some are gifts, but which I'm not sure.

I'm not too sure of the technological names, but say when you logged on you were able to operate an avatar that had an infinitely better mesh, looked more realistic(and with the already fabulous skins, pretty much photorealistic), had none of the lighting issues, no distortion in poses and walks, and had an updated layering system so makeup, tattoos and skirts were more flexible. I realise a few of those factors are controlled by things other than the avatar, but stick with me. Basically, the avatar looked and moved and interacted with the up to the minute technology.<br /><br />But there was a catch. Around 70-80% of your wardrobe now looked completely horrible. Even the most talented designers' work looked mmm..a little off, and a few outfits and hairs were still wearable, but on this whole new level of avatar construction, you now had to buy almost a whole new inventory. Although most skins and shoes(except for any higher than the ankle) survived the transformation, hair just doesn't fit or look right. Even worse, you either have to wait a month or so for the first releases that co-ordinate with the update, or try to create items yourself (however existing designers will find this easier than most). To counteract this, over half the designers had been informed so at about the month mark there are a decent amount of stock available, and at discounted rates since everyone realises the update means you can no longer wear most of your existing wardrobe. But how would you react?<br /><br />Would you prefer to have the incredible new avatar and build a whole new platform of massively higher quality avatar clothing textures, clothing prims and avatar experience? When put in-world clothing textures are more true to what it was in photoshop and doesn't flatten the image. Any attachment prims for clothing and accessories would mesh better. Or does the thought of your now - obsolete majority of your inventory put you off? There are more and more amazing creators who keep raising the bar in terms of what our avatars look like and how they move, so would you prefer to see how we can continue to improve the existing avatar?<br /><br />I'm interested in any thoughts on this, it's purely just a dive into theoretical waters, but with so many avatar developments for console gaming platforms I would have thought an online community like SL would have been a part of those kind of updates.Eyva Matovahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13562278504231869156noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267264733051607155.post-11346985925642133342008-01-01T23:57:00.000+00:002008-01-02T00:02:34.176+00:00Do Clothes have Soul?<p class="MsoNormal">Iv been shut out of the grid for nearly a week now (oh my god im going stir crazy too) and there was a blog post I’ve been meaning to do for a long time.

My first thought was they were bright and woman-pimptastic. I decided I'd wear one out that night, show off my little score, and some blingy bitch at this club tried to pull my coat off of me. She only wanted to try it on but I was drunk, and people getting in my personal space pissed me off. Next thing I'd dragged her outside by her hair and we were half slapping, half scratching each other. Some random guys appeared, must have been with her. One of my girls handed me a knife. I swear, if I hadn't been wearing the coat, this wouldn't have happened.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R3c1X8VzHhI/AAAAAAAAARY/OgXduQmbIos/s1600-h/PinkJacket.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R3c1X8VzHhI/AAAAAAAAARY/OgXduQmbIos/s400/PinkJacket.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149643384372272658" /></a><br /><br /><br />The next night, I thought I'd try my luck again, this time with the pink. I was heading out with some model friends, one of whom lent me their new designer dress. The bar was crazy, men were everywhere and all us girls were up for a good time. I thought I was smokin until some random came up and asked me straight out how much. I asked 'For what?', and he put his hand on my leg, above my knee. He started to slide his hand up my thigh and in that splitsecond I threw my drink on him and we left. I swear, if I hadn't been wearing the coat, this wouldn't have happened.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R3c1X8VzHiI/AAAAAAAAARg/rQgVfXwzZqY/s1600-h/BlackJacket.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RA26_uBTw8Y/R3c1X8VzHiI/AAAAAAAAARg/rQgVfXwzZqY/s400/BlackJacket.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149643384372272674" /></a><br /><br /><br />Third night out, I lent my girl Ames the black coat. I'd had enough trouble. With that coat Ames looked incredible, and she knew it. Always up for a good time, Ames was on a high tonight, and didn't stress about taking a few samples from work and dishing them out as party favours. As we moved from bar to bar we ended up at some dive where Ames was meeting the guy. We tried to get her to leave, she always wrecked herself and took god knows what, but tonight, feeling a natural and at least half-medicated high, she had her eye on the guy. They went out back, and it wasn't until we herd yelping that we ran out the back door and there she was, needle in hand, standing over the guy who had 5 minutes ago been swapping her saliva and was now writhing on the ground. "Son of a bitch", she panted. "Tried to manhandle me". She'd stabbed him in the cheek with the needle, and at that point we were too shocked to do anything but stare. I swear, if she hadn't been wearing the coat, this wouldn't have happened.<br /><br /><br />But damn, <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Russel%20Bay/169/235/26">the coat</a> looked hot.Eyva Matovahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13562278504231869156noreply@blogger.com3
